Eleventh Hour God

when the chips
are really down
and there’s
not much to believe in
and nowhere else to run

strengthen my belief, Lord

when the rubber hits the road
and puts me
to the biggest ever test

deepen my trust
trust in you
trust in self

when it all seems impossible
in simple human terms

remind me
nothing
is beyond your help

and when I’m asking
again and again
how long

whisper to me
tenderly

that you’re a
not in advance
just in time
precisely the best moment
eleventh hour
God

and miracles
happen

and you
will
hold me through

    Vaughan Park Scholarship

    In early 2010, I had the privilege of studying and writing at Vaughan Park Anglican Retreat Centre in New Zealand where I studied the power of imaginative contemplation with the scriptures to facilitate healing.

    Retreat Leading

    Since 2004, I have worked as a Christian Writer and Retreat Leader.

    I specialise in weaving contemporary poetry, scripture and contemplative meditations into retreat times and my retreats are usually aimed at helping others to deepen their relationship with God and to receive his healing love.

    I am always open to discuss ways in which I might be able to help those seeking a retreat leader, or seeking to find a suitable retreat for themselves, so please do get in touch.

    Please support me by praying for my ministry.

    I'll be posting my latest news and prayer requests on this site.

    Thank you ...
